You, admittedly, made me pretty mad the other night.

There is nothing wrong with my comprehension.

And I know you don’t know Evan. Or, apparently, anything about him.

I do know the truth about Evan. I know the dirty politics of appeasement that put him in Leavenworth.

While many people here hide behind anonymity, we don’t.

We want a national stage.

But there are too many people like you.

Too many people with a blind spot.

Or maybe just lacking the guts to try to really change things.

I don’t just sit at a keyboard and write things I don’t or won’t back up in action.

And please don’t treat this as an attack. That is not my intention.

You have the right to express your opinion. I think you are wrong.

Evan is my nephew.

We have been fighting for him nonstop. We will never stop.

And thank your son for his service.

I mean that.

Explain how the parents of a two time veteran who sacrificed his youth and freedom for this great country, and still is suffering for it, can have a 'blind spot.'

Perhaps your own experience has caused a sensitivity that makes you see things in the words of others that are not there, and to miss things that are there. That would be understandable under the circumstances.

On a forum such as this there's a lot of mis-reading of what is said and meant, especially when emotions are (understandably) raw.

For instance when pillut used my son against me in ignorance it also angered me at first......for a few minutes that is. Then I considered the source.....someone who was speaking in ignorance and didn't realize the weight of what he/she said on the shoulders of a mother.

There's alot of that going on around here......ignorance that is. I plead guilty of it at times, and I have been the victim of it at times as well.

I apologize for making you mad, but you did misunderstand what I was saying.

btw, no mother of a soldier 'lacks guts.' That's pretty offensive after what I've been through since 2001. And I am exactly the same person in private that I am here on this forum.

I'm sorry for your son's situation. Please provide me with your link again, and I'll read about him. And you will all be in my prayers.

I hope you get your national stage.
